Nactation question

Nactation usually offers more than one option. "Style" characters are a great choice it is clear what is intended even for less Nactation-fluent readers. "Areal" (area-related) letters, on the other hand, have a more consistent, straightforward set of hierarchic rules (hit-more-6). Digits (numerals) sometimes work as a great alternative, as well. Finally, "assumptive" Nacatation can offer a fourth choice.
Each capital letter or otherwise regular character is primary within its family, and that is typically the better choice. In the Slot family, "$" is primary and "%" is secondary. In the Outer family, "O" is primary and "o" is secondary. In the Down family, "D" is primary and "d" is secondary.
Hence, for 65R-62 (or other starkly-developed-position 62), rather than the areal "o" (secondary in the Outer family) or the assumptive "O.", I would choose the stylistic "$" (primary in the Slot family), as you did. A fourth (very clear) option is the digit "5" (primary in the 5 family).
In the same (primary) vein, for 13/7 13/11, rather than the stylistic "%" (secondary in the Slot family), I would choose the areal "D" (primary in the Down family).
In summary, I recommend $ for 13/5, and D for 13/7 13/11.
